Reminder I’ll do a big timelapse youtube video of all my kimo 7 related studies & art! But I’m still finishing up studies/quests I missed :’D

Leonie rambles about…worries

I need this break from work…!! I think I was on edge of burning out (mentally/emotionally) as I thought ANZAC day was a Monday for some silly reason before the easter break.

I don’t know if I’ll be fully be refreshed when I get back…to be fair I think I’ll be back to exhausted again trying to manage going outside, getting overstimulated and struggling to get enough sleep. Just more juggling :’D

Anyhoo so far I ended up :

tackling a few of the never ending housework with cleaning, filth and trash
- especially with the more scary, daunting tasks I was too busy for and am procrastinating to face…
- there’s still much more and I can’t do it all anytime soon
finally cleaned my desktop – it was caked with dust in some places
- (nooooo some outer parts are stained because I didn’t clean dust often enough)??
updating and looking at my tight budget…oof
- I paid some of my personal debt (part 1 out of many…)
ways to eat healthier now
- because I had to suffer months of unhealthy instant food when I was surviving without clean facilities
spiraling about pain that I’m not sure about but my doctor is on holidays
- also I dread health checkups/scans/etc involving needles…
spiraling about existence and the anxieties/worries/concerns of the future
learning there’s no expensive ergonomic chair for my height needs :/
not keen on forcing myself to crash learning more 3D right now
- I should be relaxing during this break
- and not burning myself out more just because I feel like a fraud
- hope to carve out time later on after studies slow down and do it at my own pace…
trying to finish up studies and art so far ahhhh
how do I fit in recreation timeeee – there’s games I need to play
- I need to force it or I’ll never take an art break
- aka I need to pause my studies soon
learning about Xenoblade Chronicles X, the new content, ending & lore
I need to figure out what I’m doing when kimo slows down with studies in the coming 2 or so weeks
- eventually I will post less during the week and not almost daily
- it feels weird that generally more people care for my studies on bluesky and cara
I need to kick myself to start a small project I can stick to
I also need to eventually make that kimo timelapse video by next month
- I can’t drag it on forever as I finish loose ends hopefully
it’s nice that my tiny discord server isn’t just ghostly lurkers like myself occasionally!! :0
- I couldn’t keep up with being active on servers in general but I lurk at some
- I share my art and random things often/randomly more at my own server rather than spread myself thin at other places
Hope my blog rambles are coherent (and in recent years)!
- it’s getting hard to juggle this blog
- apparently nobody reads blogs anymore
- I feel it a lot of the time that it’s crickets here…and same with my stagnant youtube channel :'(

Well that’s a bunch of things that came to mind. Not everything!

Working things out as I go along too! I can’t juggle all the things I want to do either :’D

Well as usual, one day at a time…
